The Command Line Interface
This chapter explains how to access the Nortel VPN Gateway (NVG)
through the command line interface (CLI).
The NVG software provides means for accessing, configuring, and
viewing information and statistics about the NVG configuration. By using
the built-in, text-based command line interface and menu system, you
can access and configure the VPN Gateway or cluster either through a
local console connection (using a computer running terminal emulation
software), or through a remote session using either a Telnet client or an
SSH client.
When using a Telnet client or SSH client to connect to a cluster of VPN
Gateways, always connect to the IP address of the MIP (Management IP).
Configuration changes are automatically propagated to all members of the
cluster. However, when using the halt, reboot, or delete commands
(available in the Boot menu), you should connect to the IP address of the
particular VPN Gateway on which you want to perform these commands,
or connect to that VPN Gateway through a console connection.
